Young Women Today, Leaders Tomorrow

Welcome to the Young Women's College Preparatory Academy, where we are preparing young women today to be leaders of tomorrow. As principal, my goal is to ensure that each student is provided with a holistic educational experience that will equip her with the tools for becoming successful. Our students will develop academically, think critically, lead purposefully, and make healthy and responsible decisions. Rigorous academic training from our highly trained faculty, combined with effective mentorship and guidance from our school staff, will not only keep every student on the path to excellence, but also foster a learning environment where each young lady will expect the best from herself and classmates.

I am excited about my role in the Houston Independent School District's historic initiative to grow young female leaders and invite you to join us in our mission. We are embarking on a promising journey and would like to bring you along.

Superintendent's Message

With graduation behind us and summer school approaching, HISD is reaching out to students who did not pass the new State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exams on their first try.

You need at least version 7 of Flash player. Download latest version here!

Summer school starts on Monday, and the Board of Education approved a plan today to hire 228 extra summer school teachers so we can help students develop targeted skills that will help them pass End-of-Course exams. Students must pass 15 STAAR EOCs in order to graduate under the recommended plan, as well as meet a cumulative score for each content area. It's important for our 9th-graders to get on track quickly.
Summer school will be in session four days a week, with the option of extended days and alternate hours on some campuses.
 
For students in grades 3-8, STAAR raw scores will be mailed to students' homes. Please keep in mind these reports do not indicate whether a student passed or failed an exam – passing standards will not be set by the Texas Education Agency until the fall.
 
I am confident that the dedication of our parents, students, teachers, and principals this summer will pay huge dividends when test time rolls around again.

Superintendent Terry Grier
